Analysis
What drives eviction risk in South Side
The severe-burden share is 25%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. The poverty rate is 30%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. 65% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby.
It sits 1.6 points above the Erie County average of 4.2. SNAP participation runs 28.3% against 15.2% nationally.
On the high side, court filing pressure reads 7.8/10. Cost burden runs 30% here against 37.2% across Erie County. On the softer side, state political climate reads 2.4/10.
Court records carry 399 eviction filings across 7 observed years. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 16.1% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.
Average gross rent is $798, 12% below the Sandusky average.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
